Last night, we went and bought pumpkins to carve! Taylor's was huge so big they couldn't weigh it. So they just charged us for 30 lbs. I didn't know what I was going to carve, so I just found an owl stencil to do. I had to keep it pretty basic because I'm not the best pumpkin carver & definitely not the most artistic person. Tay made a stencil of a picture of me! He does a lot of really cool art with spray paint & wood, but seeing something like it on a pumpkin is just incredible to me! He really is so talented. We had so much fun carving our pumpkins. His didn't even take him that long. I still can't believe he pulled it off.

Last week, I was making a smoothie right before heading off to work. We only had a couple of strawberries left, so I decided to use our frozen peaches. They were all stuck together in a bag, so I used a butter knife to pry them apart. Then before I knew it the knife sliped through & into my skin. I had stabbed myself! I started bleeding super bad & I could not get the blood to slow down to see how bad it was. I called Taylor in a panic & finally was able to get a picture to send to him. I decided it wasn't so bad and I could just butterfly it together. Meanwhile, he had sent the picture to his dad, who said I need to come in to get stitches. If anyone knows me they know I am a big baby when it comes to anything that has to do with needles. Luckily Taylor had left work & drove me to his dad's clinic at the hospital & was with me the entire time. I think that was the biggest reason I didn't freak out more. In fact, I would say I did really good. ; ) So, two months of marriage and I've already had stitches. Taylor has made a great effort to keep all knives away from me. I think I am the only person who can stab themselves and get stitches with a butter knife. I am not going to post a picture of the original cut, because I don't think I can handle looking at it anymore. I got four stitches but one fell out. So now i'm left with three.

We had our wedding dinner the night before our wedding. It was in a backyard, catered pizza, & the prettiest twinkle lights. It was perfect & a party. Tay surprised me by singing me a song. It was the sweetest thing. Besides the bumpy camera work at parts & a guest appearance by my dad moving the mic, it was perfect. I tear up a little every time I watch it.

A few weeks ago, Taylor & I went to the Real Salt Lake soccer game with Tay's sister & her husband. We had front row seats, right behind the goal. at the beginning & randomly through out the game, the fans would throw streamers down onto the field. About halfway through the game, the Real's mascot, a lion, was carrying a huge pile of streamers that had been collected through out the game. As he was passing in front of us, he turns & jumps up the wall that is in front of us and starts shoving the streamers onto Taylor & me. It was the most hilariously confusing thing, & we were laughing so hard. The lion jumps down, & I pull out my phone to take a picture of Taylor with a giant pile of streamers on his lap. Right as I'm holding my phone up, Real scores, and all the fans jump up & start cheering. My phone was in the way of cheering hands so it got knocked out of my hand & the screen shattered.

I couldn't even be upset about it because it was the craziest couple of minutes ever. It is the funniest story, & with the help of apple care I was able to get a brand new phone to replace it. I still blame that lion, he's the one that started it all.

My 21st birthday was a success. It was spent in st. George with my love and my in-laws. I got to watch my sisters conquer a marathon (something that made me both really jealous & terrified to watch) then spent & the rest eating yummy mexican food, going to a movie, opening presents & eating cake. It was great relaxing and I feel so blessed to have had so many people wish me a happy day. It was my first birthday with my husband and he spoiled me to death. He brought me home surprises all week including lamps I had been wanting. I set a limit on the amount he could spend & told him I only want purfume that he likes the smell of. Of course he finds a way to make my gift amazing & gets me 10 samples of purfume so I can choose my favorite, order it, & it gets sent to my house. He's amazing and boy do I love him!

october is my favorite month, and not just because it's my birthday month, although that may have a lot to do with it. it's so beautiful with the trees changing colors, and the weather is so cool and perfect. taylor & i went on a hike to enjoy the weather and beautiful colors this past week. i am dying to go again before all the leaves are gone!
